Some of the things they make are pretty nice. I wonder who decides on the clothing in indian movies (particularly tamil movies) because the clothes are horrible. They're ill-fitting, the wrong color, the wrong patterns, clothes too tight...in hindi movies they have people wearing tight clothes too but somehow they fit better than in tamil movies. I'd like to see an indian designer on project runway, because i'd probably follow them more that way than if I were to look at their work independently.Smoothieshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301956210438081195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22575531.post-45447801975066273262006-12-06T13:53:00.000-08:002006-12-06T13:53:00.000-08:00Just love the look of all these clothed.

This is such a wonderful age, an age where they believe they can do no wrong...sadly in the years following they start to doubt themselves and insecurities start to creep in. Thanks for the comment, glad you like the fusion - it's my favorite style, too.<br /><br /><br />Hi, <b>ml</b> Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. It has just enough to attract the Indian customer and not too much so as to put off the western customer - his clothes are very wearable.<br /><br />Hi, <b>Asha</b><br /><br />Sorry that my blog's misbehavin'! Can you see it when you use Mozilla?<br /><br /><br />Hi, <b>Amy</b><br /><br />Great observations! The Indians really do have a gold mine of fabric and designs to work with it seems really odd that they haven't made it big on the international stage. I think one big factor is exposure. The expense of hosting a fashion show in, let's say, New York, is prohibitive for many young designers, but I am sure there are other ways they can do this. <br /><br /><br /><b>Sugarlips</b> When I was a teenager in India I remember that video cassettes with Pakistani serials were such a hit, not so much because we were interested in the soap operas but because we would copy the Pakistani style of clothes which always seemed more chic and cutting edge! I still adore the salwaar styles from there...sigh!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22575531.post-73342323063629021142006-12-02T20:10:00.000-08:002006-12-02T20:10:00.000-08:00No doubt stuff from Pakistan & India looks gr8 wi...No doubt stuff from Pakistan & India looks gr8 with western style...I simply love it...My house is a mix & match of both :) I'm thinking to post my home pics on blog sometime soon & I'm a regular customer of Pier1 Imports & Bombay :)<br /><br />My fav.

BUt yes, i'm surprised that i can't name any Indian designers...although my knowledge of fashion is limited to Donatella Versace cause she's always on tv!Lidiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196002055847914826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22575531.post-16996946139608387912006-12-01T12:07:00.000-08:002006-12-01T12:07:00.000-08:00Great post and info, Lotus!
